Chocolatey Research

Part of the fun of being in a new country is getting to try all the different foods. I still really enjoy going to the supermarket and exploring all the North American brands and products!

So I felt like it was time that I conducted some investigative research... into Canadian chocolate. Two 'independent researchers' sampled a series of chocolate bars and provided their unbiased reviews. This process involved a lot of hard work and scientific rigour, so I do hope that you appreciate the (delicious) results.

  
Crispy Crunch (6.5/10)
Claire - Very crisp, it shatters in your mouth. 6/10
Shane -  Peanut buttery and crunchy. 7/10

Oh Henry! (7/10)
Claire - I'd liken this to a Boost, but more peanut-buttery. Nice texture with whole peanuts throughout. 8/10
Shane - It's peanut-buttery, but it should have more crunch. It's too soft for my liking. 6/10

Big Turk (5.5/10)
Claire - Not as soft as Fry's Turkish Delight, a bit like a jelly bean in terms of consistency. 5/10
Shane -  More black forest than turkish delight. 6/10

Eat More (4/10)

Claire - Salty and nutty, but not very sweet. Disappointing. 4/10
Shane - It tastes like it's from the health food section, except it's not good for you. Should be called 'Eat Less'. 4/10

Coffee Crisp (6.5/10)

Claire - Nice coffee flavour, it's like a stack of wafer biscuits covered in chocolate. 6/10
Shane - Like a coffee flavoured Chomp bar. 7/10

Wunderbar (7.5/10) 

Claire - This is like the 'Oh Henry' bar, but not as crunchy. It's more nougaty with a stronger peanut taste. 7/10
Shane - Half Mars bar, half Snickers. 8/10

Caramilk (7/10)

Claire - Like a Caramel Koala, not very exciting. 6/10
Shane - Like a Caramello, except smoother. 8/10
